CBSE not to conduct class 10 Maths re-examination
New Delhi, Apr 2 (IBNS) : The Central Board of Secondary Education has decided not to hold a re-test for the Class 10 Maths paper that was leaked before the exam.
“Consequent to the preliminary evaluation of the impact of reportedly leaked CBSE class 10 maths paper & keeping in mind the paramount interest of students, CBSE has decided not to conduct re-examination even in the states of Delhi NCR and Haryana. Hence, no re-exam for class 10,” School Education Secretary Anil Swarup said in twitter on Tuesday afternoon.
Earlier, the Government had announced that the Class 12 Economics re-exam will be held on April 25. For the class 10 math exam, Education Minister Prakash Javadekar had said it will only be held in Delhi and Haryana if the police investigation points to a "large-scale leak".
The police investigation into the paper leak is on and a few people have been arrested with an official being placed under suspension.
The Delhi High Court on Monday sought response from the CBSE about its plans on conducting re-examination.
The court also sought response from the HRD Ministry and the Delhi Police on a petition seeking a court-monitored probe into the paper leaks
